Crack raw eggs on flat surfaces to avoid pesky shell contamination.
- !
I remember realising how stupid I'd been, all those years cracking eggs on the side of bowls and such. Fool!Nairn - cooking eggs with a pressure cooker makes them easier to peeldasohr
- I always do this but a couple of days ago, I misjudged the amount of force required and raw egg all over the counter. :-/mort_
- Poosies. Eat the shell like a manGnash

SnoopDogg was apparently a big fan of Amiga computers.
- i loved my amiga. so many happy memories and its where i started designing.trooperbill
- Yup :) I had a Citizen Swift 24C printer and used some shitty DTP program with graphics made in Deluxe Paint to lay out all my school work.Nairn
- Worth the nerding so that I could have The Best Games machine and a fuckload of pirated games :) "It'll be great for schoolwork, Dad"!Nairn

Using Google Sheets as a basic web scraper:

- Isn't that 9999 symbols?Nairn
- Using just one symbol would result in, for example:
•
••
•••
••••
etc.Nairn - LOL nairn look at the last line in the image. all are combined into one sign.renderedred
- I think he means a single glyph, as in you don't need to have multiple characters to define any one number.zarkonite
- I was being tongue in cheek, but sorta serious too. Squish together numerals and you can make all numbers from 'one' symbol, made up of 10 elements..Nairn
- ..and it'd be more-instantly readable than <this too.
It's still cool though!Nairn - your presumption may stem from what you were taught. using your suggestion how to write 83/38, 56/65, 14/41, 11, 22, 33, etc?imbecile
- Nairn, how would make 9000 with our numerals? their system creates shapes that are unique to each number, it's a lot of work fitting all that together.zarkonite
- In the 13th century with the tools they had, I bet this is a person's lifetime achievement LOL.zarkonite
- Visually, it's neat, but beyond cyphering, I'm not sure what problem it solves. And its creators first learned Arabic numerals, so it's arcanity anywayNairn
- of course it's useless @nairn but fun to see someone thinking out of the box in the 13th century.renderedred

Did you know houses in Sweden have a built-in vacuum cleaning system? They don't use vacuum clears like in other countries. You have a socket in each room and only attach the tube to it.
- Pretty standard here, tooGnash
- That's nothing, I have programmed a swarm of drones to 'fan' up dust particles and collect them in an old sock.shapesalad
- These are pretty common in the US and Canada as well.zarkonite
- we had a house that sucks when I was a teenager in Australia toosausages
- ive only seen one house in the US that has this. A custom made house of a friends parents in the 80's.fooler
- My house has one, I rerouted one line to a kickplate under a kitchen cabinet, sweep and go https://bit.ly/3qgK9…whatthefunk
- Amazing, guys. For me this was all new.SimonFFM
- Doesn't suction go down the longer a tube is?Nairn
- ^ ya, but most of that loss is through friction. The internal tubes are smooth bore, vs the corrugated hoses on the biz endGnash
- Dyson hates them.ideaist
- houses in the 50's were built with these systems in the US.sarahfailin
- Ever home that I ever been it that has one of these...they all blow ass and barely work, regardless of how many sockets they have around the house.utopian

- ha, I watched Galaxy Quest the other night and had minded all those old, generally derstified, locations used in the various generations of Star Trek :)Nairn

- the best was the dukes of Hazzard, supposed to be in the lush Appalachians in Georgia but it's clearly desert-like California_niko
- There's a spot called Vasquez Rocks in California that they film a ton of sci-fi scenes in. I have been there many times.monospaced
- Is that where the Gorn scene was shot?scarabin
